I was very happy with how it turned out. <BR/><BR/>Please forgive the rough draft style. I have actually learned to use spellcheck since then.<BR/><BR/>Me, too, it always bothered me the original poem never said what Tim had done, only alluded to it.<BR/><BR/>One day my sons' english book was laying around, I picked it up and opened it straight up to The Highwayman. One of the best poems ever written.<BR/><BR/>Well, in text book style it asked all these questions about the poem and then asked 'If you could rewrite Ahe Highwayman, how would you have written it differently?"<BR/><BR/>So I rewrote it by the next night.<BR/><BR/>Anyways... Good luck on your short story, come back and share it anytime!Christyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15276840532266446481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15465078.post-72335870196385299812008-11-19T12:56:00.000-08:002008-11-19T12:56:00.000-08:00wow, i really love that. i am doing a transformation of the highwayman for my english coursework and was planning on doing a short story from tim the ostler's viewpoint. i love the way there's lots of bits from the actual poem in this but also a lot of origional ideas. it's great!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
